| The highlight of the day was the continued presence of the Wilson's
Phalarope at Grindon Lough, Northumberland, which could often show well,
despite being elusive in the vegetation. The Lesser Grey Shrike was also
still present at Middlebere, Dorset, and there are still three Two-barred
Crossbills at Sumburgh Head, Shetland, although these were the only birds
reported today.
A remarkable record of Thrush Nightingale also surfaced today, with news of a bird being trapped and ringed on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire on Saturday. Other late news concerned another sighting of a Yelkouan-type Shearwater in the south-west, this time off St Ives Island, Cornwall yesterday. The adult Baird's Sandpiper remained on South Uist, Western Isles, with the Cattle Egret also still at Blakeney, Norfolk, White-winged Black Tern still at Thamesmead, London and the Ferruginous Duck was still at Chew Valley Lake, Somerset. |
